DECEMBER 2014 – LMLA - President’s
MessageHello LMLA members.Season’s Greetings to All!As 2014 comes to a close, I wanted to
share some final thoughts with our membership.I want to sincerely thank the LMLA
Executive Board for all their efforts this past year.These individuals are listed within this
newsletter.If you see/talk with these
individuals, thank them for their volunteer activities as well!There have been some very positive
activities for Little Muskego Lake (LML) during 2014.This in general includes the following:

Idle
Isle launch ramp vegetation restoration,

Placement
of solar lighted warning buoys,

Financial
donation to the City of Muskego for Land Conservancy activities,

On a concerning note, earlier this year,
the WDNR has detected and identified the presence of an Algae in LML.It’s known as StarryStonewort Algae which
is a prohibited species under the Wisconsin Invasive Species Rule (e.g. listed
as a non-native invasive species).This
Algae has been identified and located off the Hillview Drive public access
site.Presently, this Algae has notbeen discovered outside of this area in LML. This Algae species can form
dense tall mats that crowd out native plant species and provide limited habitat
for fish and wildlife.The WDNR is proposing to partnership
with the Little Muskego Lake Management District (LMLD) and the City of Muskego
to develop a control/eradication plan.And, most certainly, we (LMLA) will offer volunteer/financial assistance
as well.

Please stay tuned for updated
information regarding this serious algae issue. This Algae item will be
discussed in additional detail by a WDNR representative at our April 15, 2015 LMLA Annual Membership
meeting.

On a lighter note, and on behalf of the
LMLA Executive Board, have a safe and wonderful Holiday/Winter season!
